Route Development & Rumours

[Ray Finkle]

Their sub 200 ft flypast of Heart of England school was something else

Wasn't there also an incident involving the Sutton Transmitter Mast?

Are Mahan a banned airline in EU?

They fly to Barcelona, Paris, Milan and a couple of cities in Germany.

A little disappointed that BHX has no Aegean increases for S18, was hoping for at least a longer season or x 3 weekly peak summer.

However at least they are still at BHX, S18 bookable still x 2 weekly.

With vlm starting operations again what's the odds of them flying to BHX again

 

[IanFarquharson]

I understand an existing BHX operator maybe adding three new routes from BHX soon !

Here we go again...

 

[rollo]

Jet2 or Monarch, just a guess.

 

[Brum X]

Im going for Easyjet

Berlin
Edinburgh
Bilbao is my wish list.

 

[Brum X]

I would love a low cost airline like Easyjet to start a route like BHX-EDI. I think it would defo pull in the punters.

 

[BHX492]

It could be bmi regional

 

[nwoody2001]

Easyjet?!?!? you kidding me?!?!?!

 

[andrew.clarkson]

Hi there ray and all, if it were easyJet, then all I can say is, about time they have realised that birmingham airport could do well for them, it could even spur them further to add even more routes and try to compete with the other low cost at birmingham and see what the response would be then.....AndyC.

 

[IanFarquharson]

It is NOT easyjet !

 

[davecleaver777]

Primera air

 

[Brummiegem]

In some ways I am happy that easyJet haven't set up in Brum.
I think you can have too much of Airlines serving the same routes and services.
We do need more capacity on some European routes I will agree,but there are still many gaps in the Euro network that need filling.
What we need is an airline that is prepared to not just fill the gaps and add capacity where it is needed, but also to be bold and perhaps add some routes that maybe even we at f4a may not have thought of.Whether that be one of our current airlines or a new one such as Primera,or,whoever remains open to debate.
What is clear is that there is a lot of demand from BHX, for both L/H and S/H.Finding an airline prepared to serve one or the other or even both is the difficult bit which I am sure R/D team is looking at right now.

Brummiegem makes a valid point. EasyJet have had umpteen opportunities over many years to establish a meaningful presence at BHX. That they haven't done so is their decision and to a large extent they have now missed the boat.

However, what did happen was that Mon and Jet2 and to a lesser extent RYR have created a substantial presence at BHX and i, for one, am mindful that had EasyJet come in we might not have had one or more of the three airlines i have mentioned. For what it offers and for the reputation it has created, i am glad that we have Mon and not EasyJet as the dominant provider.

But there is a wider point and that is i do not want to see BHX grow 'airlines' merely for the sake of it: that is in my view, unsustainable. I want the airport to grow in line with the development of the city of Birmingham and, of course, Coventry and the the increasingly important economy of the West Midlands. Organic growth will, in time, provide the airlines, routes and passengers.

We must just be patient...

Easyjet?!?!? you kidding me?!?!?!

Never say never woody. Maybe one day our dream will come true

 

[andrew.clarkson]
